Game of Thrones

Something good happened on Game of Thrones and I don’t know what to make of it. This week’s episode, “Book of the Stranger,” opens with the reunion of Jon Snow and Sansa Stark, which would be a bit more emotional had this not literally been their first interaction in the series. The eventual reunion of Arya and Jon will…

In some ways, “Oathbreaker” feels like the real start of Game of Thrones Season 6. We finally got the inevitable Jon Snow resurrection over with last week, and so now the series can move forward into new territory.
